Advising and Student Support

The School of Education is one of the few schools/departments to
offer academic advisors for its programs. Students (current,
incoming freshman or transfer) are strongly encouraged to contact an
advisor for the latest information on the degree or program of
their interest. Students enrolled in the Bachelor of Arts in Elementary Education are required to meet with an advisor before registering for courses.

UAF Student Support Services

UAF Academic Center
The Advising Center provides academic advising for general studies,
pre-major, and non-degree seeking students. Degree check lists
for academic majors can be printed from this site. Links to
Learning Resources including tutoring, Student Support Services
Program, Associated Students of Alaska Fairbanks, the Writing
Center, Math Labs, and much more can be found at their site.

Rural Student Services (RSS)
RSS is a vital link joining the Fairbanks campus, rural communities
and other UAF campuses. Students may choose an RSS advisor who will
provide comprehensive academic advising and referrals to various
support services on the Fairbanks campus. RSS advisors can register
students for classes, explain academic requirements and explore
degree and career options. They assist students with the admissions
and financial aid process to attend UAF, provide personal counseling
and student advocacy. RSS serves as a Native Student Center in the
Brooks Building to provide an atmosphere where students can share Native
cultural traditions on campus and attend Native student club
activities, as well as being a comfortable student gathering place.

Testing Services
As a national test center, the UAF Testing Services Office
contracts and administers paper and pencil, and computer-based
exams. We advise UAF students, prospective students and the
community about national testing for college admissions and
placement, and about career and professional certification. Our
office coordinates private proctoring and credit by examination; locally
and through the College Level Examination Program (CLEP).
Disabled students may be entitled to special testing arrangements.
Please call (907) 474-5277 for more information.

access for all students. Interpreting services, educational
assistants, note taking, and exam accommodations for students are
